Called 911 by accident?? Don’t hang up!

If you have accidentally dialed 911, or called 911 with a ‘pocket dial’ – DON’T HANG UP – YOU WILL NOT GET IN TROUBLE. Stay on the line to complete the call and answer any questions the dispatcher may ask. Police get dispatched to 911 Hang-ups, and these, like all 911 calls, are treated as life-threatening emergencies.

Calls from land lines in homes or business are easily tracked. However, when a 911 call comes from a cell phone it is much harder to investigate and can take hours to locate the caller to ensure they are safe. Please do not hang up, even if you think the call hasn’t connected.
